چکیده
Basically, all sexually transmitted diseases occurring in adults can be transmitted to children. Patterns of transmission are as follows: intrauterine, perinatal, by sexual abuse, by voluntary sexual contact, by accidental autoinoculation or heterinoculation, or indirect transmission. In children between 2 and 10 years of age, sexual abuse is first in possible ways of transmission. Taking into consideration the age of the child, the sexually transmittable agent and the localization of the infection helps in assessing the possibility of sexual abuse.
